Contextual analysis
One of our previous customers recruited another president to run the organization. The president originated from a bigger organization that utilized extremely refined software. Soon after accepting his new position, the president chose to buy the software he utilized at his past activity. The division heads who saw the software at the demo didn’t feel it was the correct decision for their organization, dreading the end-clients who had dealt with a home-developed framework for a long time may experience issues learning it.
In spite of their recommendation, the president chose to buy the software. The counseling firm that sold the software ensured the expense would not surpass $750,000. Two years and $2.5 million later, the software was at long last executed and the organization went “live.” The primary explanation behind the cost overwhelm was on the grounds that the software must be adjusted to meet the organization’s business needs, along with the long expectation to absorb information clients experienced when attempting to ace the framework.
This brought about the president being terminated, the organization having extremely complex software with the greater part of its capacities going unused, and required an enormous PC division to help the software activity.

Need “An” alteration: must be done preceding the framework ready for action.
Need “B”: can hold up until after the framework is ready for action.
Need “C”: would be ideal to have.
